We took the bus from the suburb every early morning that summer 3 years ago. One of the passengers was a small
36 man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (佝偻) and a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty,
37 the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one
38 morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver
39 guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically,
40 and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,”
41 . The following weeks we were more alert (留意的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date
42 . The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we
43 began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver
44 smilingly and asked:“Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?”and he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers
45 and clapped at him. Charlie bowed and waved the
46 before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the
47 passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束).
The summer went by, and
48 was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual
49 . When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or —
50 — on holiday somewhere.
One day, we learned from the staff working in the centre for senior citizens that the elderly
51 was fine, but he hadn't been coming to the
52 that week. One of his very close friends had died at the weekend. They
53 him back on Monday. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next
54 Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping a bit more, a little bit more grey, and without a tie. He seemed to have shrinked（缩小）again. Inside the bus was a
55 . All of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
